DES-7200 Configuration Guide Chapter 7 PIM-SMv6
Configuration
7-4
7.2.1 Enable Multicast Routing
Multicast packets can be forwarded and enabling PIM-SMv6 makes sense only
after multicast routing is enabled.
To enable or disable multicast routing, run the following command in the global
configuration mode.
Command Function
DES-7200(config)# ipv6
multicast-routing
Enable multicast routing.
DES-7200(config)# no ipv6
multicast-routing
Disable multicast routing.
7.2.2 Enable PIM-SMv6
In order for one device to interact with other devices on PIM-SMv6 control
messages, maintain and update the multicast routing table and forward multicast
packets, PIM-SMv6 must be enabled on every interface.
To enable PIM-SMv6 on the interface, run the following commands in the
interface configuration mode.
Command Function
DES-7200(config-if)# ipv6 pim
sparse-mode
Enable PIM-SMv6 on the interface.
DES-7200(config-if)# no ipv6 pim
sparse-mode
Disable PIM-SMv6 on the interface.
Caution
Enabling PIM-SMv6 brings into effect only after multicast routing is enabled
globally.
7.2.3 Configure the Hello Message Transmission Interval
After enabling PIM-SMv6, the interface sends the Hello message to the ones of
adjacent devices at an interval. This transmission interval can be set as required.
To configure the Hello message transmission interval, run the following command
in the interface configuration mode.
Command Function
DES-7200(config-if)# ipv6 pim
query-interval interval-seconds
Set the Hello message transmission
interval.
interval-seconds: in the range 1 to
65535 seconds
DES-7200(config-if)# no ipv6 pim
query-interval
Restore the setting to the default
value.
By default, the Hello message transmission interval is 30 seconds on the
interface.
